Sepia Saturday Week 50

As most of you will know, I love old postcards and I, along with many other people, have used vintage postcards as the starting point for many a Sepia Saturday contribution. As a postcard lover, I have long been a fan of Christine H's wonderful "Daily Postcard" Blog, and I was really pleased when she became a Sepia Saturday poster some time ago. And, of course, I was thrilled to discover that her Sepia Saturday post last week featured a postcard which almost seemed to have been addressed to my dog Amy! On behalf of Amy, I thank her for the postcard, and on behalf of Sepia Saturday I thank her and all the other participants for keeping Sepia Saturday going for 50 weeks.

Everyone is invited to take part in Sepia Saturday 50. You don't necessarily need to feature a postcard nor to find one addressed to my dog. Whatever the image may be, just post it and link it on or around Saturday 20th November 2010.

How very fitting that we should crack 100 followers on the occasion of our 50th Sepia Saturday!I've been focussing greatly on my poetry lately and haven't been able to devote the time I'd like to SS (added to the fact, my photos were packed away and are in storage, so I'm limited as to selection).I do hope to participate this week and will be back later to provide the link.

Congratulations to all of us on 50 Fabulous Sepia Saturdays under our belts! Long may we continue this exploration of families, old, new and even unknown.

Kat : It is most suitable that you are the first to comment on this, the 50th Sepia Saturday, because it was you who started the whole process off. My post will be up later tonight.Joan : All our thoughts are with them and their families.

Oh I didn't know about the new episode of trapped mines. May God be with them and their families. Glad you are back Alan. I have posted a big chunk of my heart tonight with a picture of one of my lovely favorite uncles. One of my mom's brothers. Happy 50th SS.QMM

Sepia Saturday

Launched by Alan Burnett and Kat Mortensen in 2009, Sepia Saturday provides bloggers with an opportunity to share their history through the medium of photographs. Historical photographs of any age or kind (they don't have to be sepia) become the launchpad for explorations of family history, local history and social history in fact or fiction, poetry or prose, words or further images. If you want to play along, all we ask is that your sign up to the weekly Linky List, that you try to visit as many of the other participants as possible, and that you have fun.
